How long after that would they <i>both</i> be agreeing to abide by the noise and peace laws? Or they might just end up sabotaging each other's sound systems... Either outcome would be OK by me.

The members of that church broke the law, therefore they should be punished. Just like with that Muslim place, my stance on the issue is, “If you break the law, you should be punished.”

Brooklyn Boy,
Can’t the transit security people or whoever do something about these nutcases? Talk about a captive audience! It sounds like hell on earth and incredibly stressful!

Just marched about carrying signs. I thought they were incredibly stupid for protesting something they'd not seen, however.

Wow, you saw the first run of LoB. I can't even remember how old it is. I don't think they did this one, but it would have been good and fit with the whole "Christianity is peaceful" myth. "Did you hear what that bugger said?" "No, he never." "Yeah, he said the Greek shall inherit the earth. Not while I'm bloody alive. Let's go get those sex perverts."
